Virat Kohli – 18
Now coming to the jersey number of our terrific run-machine Virat Kohli. Ever wondered what’s the real reason behind his no.18. Virat Kohli’s father died on 18th December 2006 when he was 18 . Since then his jersey no. is 18. It was his father Prem Kohli, who sent him for cricket coaching. It was his dream that his son will play for India, but he never got to see Virat play for team India. His father died in the morning at 3:00 am and Virat saved a Ranji Trophy match for his team on that day by scoring 90 runs against Karnataka. Although some say his jersey no in the U19 world cup was 18, so he kept it forever.
